With Influences ranging from Talvin Singh to VAST to Radiohead, the solo studio work of Matt Blake [aka The Birth] is a dark and ambient melody-driven electronica that in many ways breaks the conventions of its genre.
A master lyricist and versatile musician, Matt Blake is sure to make waves with The Birth upon release of his first EP this year, titled 'Electrum' [due July '05], with a full-length album to follow in the 1st quarter of 2006.
